Talk about a charisma vacuum, which is strange because he's not this uncharismatic in real life. It's like the director instructed him to be as bland and monotonous as possible.
shareTrue dat. I came to love the actor in many of his other roles after this and never once did I even realize, "oh, that's the guy from Die Hard?" Totally forgettable!
shareAgreed. I'm a massive Olyphant fan. Justified is one of my favorite shows. But there is no denying he sucks in this movie. He sucks in this as well as Hitman.
It never made sense because he's played villains before, and played them well i might add
His character is supposed to be socially awkward ya dipstick.
shareSo what? Hannibal Lecter is ‘socially awkward’ yet utterly compelling. Olyphant lacks even the remotest amount of menace in DHINO. The script and his performance are woefully bad, along with the rest of this turd pretending to be a Die Hard film.
shareYou’re comparing a Die Hard movie to a film nominated for an Oscar? That’s in a completely different genre?
When have Die Hard Villains ever been menacing? They’ve always been intelligent men who lead a pack of much more menacing men, those who do all the fighting for them.
Did you even watch the other movies in this franchise? Did Alan Rickman even throw a punch?

The fact that you think Silence of the Lambs is in the same genre as a stupid action movie tells me that I’m interacting with a complete dumbass.
You thought Jeremy Irons was menacing? Lol, and that’s why the movie worked? Good grief kid, none of these villains were ever meant to be menacing nor are they, just dumb popcorn flicks with intelligent scrawny and nerdy villains who don’t know how to throw punches.

The Die Hard movies are aimed at teenagers like yourself, the fact that you think these are high art is just a new level of stupid.
shareNo, dickhead. DHINO is aimed at teenyboppers like yourself, the Die Hard Trilogy are R-rated, adult-oriented films. That’s why you can’t stomach or comprehend them.
share👍👍👍👍
shareThere were some scenes where he was supposed to be threatening other characters... people who worked for him or trying to intimidate McClane through the phone... it was ridiculous.
shareIt’s especially shit when he captures McClane’s daughter and threatens to blow her head off over the phone unless McClane complies. McClane refuses and Olyphant… does nothing… because McClane’s daughter is covered in thick plot armour.
This terrible writing drains Olyphant of any menace.
Agreed.
shareJust like how Hans blows the head off of John McClane’s wife in the original…...ohhh wait menacing Daddy didn’t do this…..he was too pussy it turned out……I will take “hypocrisy for $300 Alex”
shareFucking idiot. The situations weren’t remotely comparable 🤦🏻♂️
Have you watched the Die Hard films?
Agreed. I'm also a big fan of the guy, but he was bland like beige in this movie.
shareEvery villain in this franchise is a bad guy. Thats what villains are in these kinds of movies
shareFrom what I've seen of his performances he has gotten markedly better inn his craft as time has gone on. At this point he fills the screen, demands the attention of the audience and is able to hold it.
shareHe was pretty menacing in Go back in ‘99.
DHINO just suffers from an atrocious script, and everyone involved should hang their heads in shame. This film was the first turd dropped into the Die Hard well.
I definitely don't agree with this. Timothy was great loooong before this movie.
